Centos 7 DNS server not replying to clients

What have I missed?  

I am trying to configure a local DNS server in CentOS 7 and It appears that queries from the server are working to outside but clients are not getting responses from local server.  I can see the request coming in via tcpdump but local server isn't performing the query and replying to client.  



From server:

[root@zotac etc]# nslookup
> server
Default server: 10.30.3.5
Address: 10.30.3.5#53
> cnn.com
Server:         10.30.3.5
Address:        10.30.3.5#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   cnn.com
Address: 151.101.64.73
Name:   cnn.com
Address: 151.101.192.73
Name:   cnn.com
Address: 151.101.0.73
Name:   cnn.com
Address: 151.101.128.73

[root@zotac etc]# netstat -lnp | grep named
tcp        0      0 10.30.3.5:53            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      10028/named
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:953           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      10028/named

From Windows client:

Server sees response but not forwarded to forwarding servers

[root@zotac ~]# tcpdump -vvv -s 0 -l -n port 53 -i enp2s0 | grep cnn.com
tcpdump: listening on enp2s0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

    10.30.3.253.55239 > 10.30.3.5.domain: [udp sum ok] 3+ AAAA? cnn.com. (25)

I expect to see a query to ext DNS and/or reply from local DNS to client.
